Quoting: DouzejuIn light of the recent bot farm discoveries surrounding TF2, we might reconsider these numbers and try to understand how many *human* Steam users are using Limux…
Linked is an good hour long video that describes the problem, but tl;dw 75% of tf2 "players" are bot-farms using text-mode tf2 to drop crates and sell them on the market.

I highly doubt bot farms are going to be manually opting into the survey when it appears, they won't want to be tracked at all. This is not an automatic thing remember, it's a manual entry survey Valve pops up in the Steam client.

Quoting: ReverieMotifI got really intrigued when I read the words "present evidence" but after reading the whole blog post it's just garry giving his observations without providing anything substantial, which anybody could have done. I think most people are just unhappy with his vague wording of "been assured that it's real" on twitter, and this blog post doesn't do a great job of clearing stuff up aside him saying he's received confirmations of nintendo themselves (without showing any proof, although I know Garry probably isn't supposed to do that) and I think the reason everyone's so cynical and doubtful of everything is due to a lack of reassurance and/or evidence

You don't generally show screenshots of private emails about this kind of thing, or present recordings of phone calls. What are you expecting from it exactly? The company that makes the game have said repeatedly now, they've confirmed it is Nintendo. Why do you need more? It's weird.

Quoting: ToricJust recently finished it, and yah, the EA launcher canceled game night on more than one occasion.

I have someone desperate to play it with me, and I kept on saying no for that reason. Now I guess I have no excuse heh.

Quoting: NyxWouldn't you just use steam family sharing and pass it down that way.
They can't login to the account but most of your library is still kind of passed on ?

This is mentioned in the article. But, that would require someone to share before they die. And whoever wants the account passed on may not have it shared, that doesn't really solve the issue at hand, and not all games are available via family sharing.

Quoting: jams3223EA broke support for Apex Legends on the Steam Deck.

That was fixed only a day later, and then also in Proton Experimental.

Quoting: Pengling

Campaign mode: Clear floors filled with robots, and in crucial moments, execute ultraviolent finishes on your enemies to survive.

Being a fan of robots, I'm not sure I'm ok with that. :tongue:

Anyway, seriously, this game looks really cool - great to see more vibrant stuff emerging after so many generations of games coloured only with sloppy shades of grey-and-brown! :grin: LOVE the mock-up box at the end of the trailer, too!

The brown era certainly was interesting.

Quoting: LexwakPeople always seem to get worked up over nothing, it's as if they're constantly searching for something to worry about. The article discusses the potential consequences if someone were to steal your device and access your personal information. However, if someone gains access to your computer, they could uncover much more than just random screenshots taken out of context. If privacy concerns you, you have the option to disable Recall from saving anything anyway.

It seems like most people are simply going about their day with their Androids or iPhones, casually browsing through Instagram or YouTube, maybe dropping a comment on Reddit or Twitter. But where do we draw the line on privacy? I say, let people choose their tools and determine what they're comfortable sharing without resorting to unnecessary fear tactics.

How's the job at Microsoft going?
